The ACCC warned the candles could pose a serious risk to young children.

“The product does not include the required warning information,” the ACCC said.

“There is a risk of choking, severe internal burn injuries or death to young children if they gain access to the button/coin batteries and swallow or place them inside their body.

“Severe or fatal injuries can happen in 2 hours or less.

“Consumers may be unaware that the product contains button batteries.”

Consumers are being urged to stop using the product immediately and keep it out of reach of children.
